Missing Link
Engine: RPG Maker VX Ace Game Version: 1.51
Game Synopsis
The main character of Missing Link was born in Amakawa but lost both parents at a young age. Since then, he’s lived in a distant orphanage. Thanks to support from relatives, he secured a spot in the dormitory of Amakawa School, allowing him to return to his hometown. However, even though Amakawa should be familiar, he finds he can hardly recall its sights and scenes, creating a sense of mystery and disconnection with his past. At the same time, a series of mysterious events happen and he gets pulled right in the middle of it all.
This is a Person-like game that focues more on RPG elements rather than h-stuff. Still the game offers a lot of different stuff, like joining Japanese school clubs, Karaoke, Part-time jobs, Fast-food restaurants, game arcade, etc... Basically it's a slice of life game. And everything you do affects character stats which make you stronger.
There are three parts of day. Morning, after school and night. During these times, if you're free, you decide which activities you do. Besides the things I've mentioned above you can talk, train, go on dates with the heroines of the game which increases stats as well as affection. This in turn allows triggering h-scenes. There's so many things and systems in the game that I can't even remember them all. I'm pretty sure if you like games on the RPG side, you'll love this one.
Translation Status
I've translated over 1000 skills, items, weapons names and descriptions again. There's still some issues with them, but I'm slowly going through them again and fixing things like text translation not fitting inside the description window size.
I've translated a lot of systems like library and clubs and few first days of the story. I think this might be my biggest project by far when it comes to amount of text that needs to be translated. It will take at least four months depending on how much times I can put aside. Wish me luck.
Translation started - November, 2024.
Update 25.12.2024
I've been busy with this translation over the last month and even though I don't have a real way to track progress I'd say I'm about 80% done with the translation. I'm at the end of the main story and I've translated a lof of the hscenes already. I'd say I'm also about 70% or 80% done with hscene translation. I'm currently on vacation so I think the last 20% should be done really fast. After I'm done I'll have to play through the game and fix stuff I find, which I'm sure there are plenty off. That's it for now. Hopefully next update will be released game. Merry Christmas.
Update 17.01.2025
I've offically finished the translation of the game. I'm pretty burned out so I'll a few weeks off before I start a playthrough of the game to see how it looks, fix any possible grammar mistakes or any other bugs I might encounter.
